Jiang Linchuan turned around and headed straight for the office building.
When Political Commissar Wang saw him come in, his headache worsened. "Lin Chuan, there are some things I can't help you with..."
“I know.” Jiang Linchuan stood in front of the table. “I request to investigate this matter personally. Give me fifteen days, and I will definitely get to the bottom of it.”
"No, you need to avoid suspicion."
"As long as I don't openly investigate Chen Jingming, that's fine. Political Commissar Wang, I swear on my promise that if I can't find out the truth within fifteen days, I'm willing to accept any punishment, even if it means taking off this uniform!"
Jiang Linchuan's tone was resolute, clearly indicating that he had already made up his mind. Even if Political Commissar Wang did not agree, he would leave to investigate on his own. However, at that time, he would no longer have a legitimate reason.
“I only have one request, Political Commissar: let her go home. Send someone to watch over her and deliver meals every day, just make sure she's not kept locked up in that kind of place anymore.” Jiang Linchuan’s tone suddenly softened. “She’ll be scared.”
Political Commissar Wang looked at him, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Why are you doing this..."
The best thing to do right now is to do nothing.
Didn't you see even the political commissar is starting to avoid suspicion? Handing it over to Zhao Feng, an outsider, is the best option.
“She is innocent, Political Commissar.” Jiang Linchuan’s voice was hoarse. “She donated millions to the country and helped Heilongjiang Province avoid the frost. If she is a spy, what is she after? Moreover, a person who has made contributions should not be wronged in such a place.”
Political Commissar Wang certainly understood this principle, but the problem was... when it came to espionage, it was better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!
"Here's what I'll do: I'll pretend to send you on a patrol mission to a neighboring county, giving you time to investigate. But you only have half a month. After that, your unauthorized investigation will definitely come out, and you'll have to bear all the consequences yourself."
Jiang Linchuan snapped to attention and gave a perfect military salute. "Thank you, Political Commissar."
Political Commissar Wang truly helped him time and time again.
It was precisely because of his human touch that Jiang Linchuan was willing to stay here. Otherwise, based on his merits, he could have been transferred to the capital long ago, with a bright future ahead of him.
"Go."
After Jiang Linchuan left, Political Commissar Wang immediately called Zhao Feng over, "Sit down. I called you over mainly to inform you that Xu Xinghe can no longer stay in the interrogation room."
"Why?" Zhao Feng was stunned. "What did Jiang Linchuan do?"
"No, it's because Xu Xinghe is a national hero. The investigation can continue, but she can't be treated like a criminal. Just send her back to the courtyard, put her under strict guard, and prevent her from leaving the house. If you have any questions, go to her house and ask her; it will be the same."
Zhao Feng pursed his lips. "Political Commissar, being in a place she's familiar with will affect the effectiveness of the interrogation."
“I know, but she is a meritorious person, and her merits and demerits do not offset each other. Besides, she is still under investigation, so she is not a criminal.”
"Okay." Zhao Feng stood up and agreed. "I'll take care of it right away."
That evening.
Xu Xinghe was personally escorted back to the courtyard by Zhao Feng.
She paused for a moment, looking at the familiar door, then realized what was happening.
Jiang Linchuan must have done something, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get out so easily.
Zhao Feng opened the door, slightly raising his chin. "Go in. Don't think that just because you can go home for now, you're safe. From now on, you'll be under surveillance and can't step out of your room. If you sneak out, I can assume you're doing something that harms the country."
Xu Xinghe took a deep breath, nodded in agreement, and smiled on her pale face, "Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you."
She returned to her familiar room and lay comfortably on the kang (a heated brick bed).
I'm finally back...
at the same time.
The First Hospital of Heilongjiang Province.
Zhang Cishu stood by the window, quietly watching the snowflakes drifting outside.
The night was as dark as ink, and he was dressed in all white, the collar of his sweater standing up, covering his long, fair neck, revealing only his clean-lined jawline and a pair of cool, aloof eyes.
"Young Master, the Miss Xu you were keeping an eye on has run into trouble. She's gotten involved with a spy," the subordinate reported softly.
After a long silence, Zhang Cishu finally spoke, "I understand."
His voice was flat, and you couldn't tell his emotions.
His subordinates, thinking he didn't care, were about to leave when they heard him speak again, "Go see Grandpa."
"yes!"
Zhang Cishu picked up his coat, put it on, and braved the wind and snow to enter the inpatient department.
The corridor smelled strongly of disinfectant. He frowned slightly, walked to the door of the special care ward, and gently knocked twice.
"Come in."
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to disturb your rest." Zhang Cishu came to the bedside. "I know you're not asleep at this time. I wanted to tell you something. Miss Xu Xinghe is in trouble."
"Oh?" General Zhang raised his eyes. "What trouble is it that you had to come here in person?"
“I’ve investigated her background, and there are no problems.” Zhang Cishu lowered his eyes, his eyelashes casting a small shadow under his eyes. “But now she’s involved with spies. I think it’s more likely a misunderstanding, or that she’s been framed.”
General Zhang was even more surprised and carefully examined his grandson.
How could someone who has always been aloof and reserved actually have the desire to stand up for others?
“Since this Miss Xu is my savior, and you want to help her, then let’s repay this favor.” He looked at the guard standing next to him. “Go and call the secretary over. Call the military officer in charge of Miss Xu’s side and tell him that I said the Zhang family will protect her this time. The investigation is fine, but an innocent person must not be wronged.”
After saying that, General Zhang suddenly laughed out loud, "Ci Shu, you're starting to have a human touch now. I hope that girl isn't a real spy and has let your good intentions go to waste."
Zhang Cishu did not respond, but the image of Xu Xinghe appeared in his mind.
He grew up in the Zhang family compound, where everyone was calm, composed, and even indifferent.
But only this person possessed an extraordinary vitality and kindness.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Ten minutes later.
The office phone suddenly rang.
Political Commissar Wang picked up the receiver, his previously calm expression gradually turning serious. "Yes! Please rest assured, General Zhang, we will conduct a fair investigation and will absolutely not wrong an innocent person!"
The call ended.
Political Commissar Wang was very surprised.
Xu Xinghe is actually related to the Zhang family?
Moreover, the fact that the other party specifically called to exert pressure indicates that their relationship is quite close.
The next second.
The phone rang again.
Political Commissar Wang answered the call, his expression becoming even more serious. "So it's General Lian... Please rest assured, General Lian, I will definitely not let Comrade Xu Xinghe suffer any injustice. As long as she is innocent, I will certainly give her justice!"
What's going on?
The Lian family has also attacked?
Commissar Wang thought of Lian Xiao. It seemed that he came to Heilongjiang Province because of Xu Xinghe. It seemed that Xu Xinghe and the Lian family had a special relationship!
He shook his head and chuckled, muttering to himself, "It seems Lin Chuan's worries are unnecessary. With these two powerful figures around, the investigation will definitely go smoothly! Someone, call Jiang Lin Chuan over."
"Reporting to the political commissar, Commander Jiang has left the military headquarters and set off for Linxian County to conduct an inspection mission!"
That kid's quick!
Now we can only wait for him to come back...
